Welcome to the Psychology PhD program at Harvard University!
Our work is united in the focus on the science of mental life, yet highly interdisciplinary.
The Psychology Department is organized into four research areas:
- Clinical Science/ Experimental Psychopathology
- Developmental Psychology
- Social Psychology
- Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB)
Students enrolled in the PhD program may follow one of two tracks: Clinical Science or the Common Curriculum, which includes Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Cognition, Brain, and Behavior (CBB). Students may only be considered for Clinical Science during the graduate school application process, and may not transfer in at a later date.
